In this guide you’ll learn how to jailbreak iPhone 3.1.3 with Spirit jailbreak. Spirit is an untethered jailbreak for iPhone 3GS, 3G, iPhone 2G running iPhone OS 3.1.3 and 3.1.2 along with all iPod Touches and iPad.

In order to jailbreak iPhone OS 3.1.3 with Spirit Jailbreak your iPhone must be activated (Activated means >> Not stuck at emergency or Connect to iTunes screen.) Jailbreaking iPhone with spirit jailbreak is very easy, and if I’m not wrong, easier than Blackra1n jailbreak.

Warning: iPhone 3GS and iPhone 3G users who depends on Unlock MUST stay away from iPhone OS 3.1.3 otherwise you’d lose unlocking ability, may be forever and your iPhone will be nothing more than an iPod Touch. Unlockers must be using a custom firmware made with PwnageTool or Sn0wbreeze to jailbreak and then unlock iPhone.

Reminder: As reminded over and over again, just make sure to save SHSH blobs for iPad 3.2. SHSH blobs are not required for jailbreaking but to secure future jailbreak. you can save SHSH blobs using Firmware Umbrella and AutoSHSH (Use any of them.)

To jailbreak iPhone 3GS, iPhone 3G and iPhone 2G on iPhone OS 3.1.3 with Spirit Jailbreak, simply follow the step-by-step guide below: (Steps are same for both Mac and Windows)

Jailbreak iPhone OS 3.1.3 with Spirit Jailbreak

***All the downloads are linked at the bottom of this guide. Backup your iPhone via iTunes first.

Update your iTunes to latest version (9.1.1). Download link below. (any version from 9 to 9.1.1 should work.)
iPhone firmware must be 3.1.3 or 3.1.2.

STEP 3

Run the downloaded Spirit jailbreak.

ATTENTION Windows 7/Vista users: You need to run the Spirit in compatibility mode for Windows 98. To do this, simply right click on the Spirit.exe file and go to Properties. Then go to Compatibility tab and select Windows 98 from the dropdown of Compatibility Mode. Hit the Apply and then OK button. Then run the Spirit.

hi all
bit of a noob wen it comez to iphonez an jb i have a 3gs Version : 3.1.3 (7E18)Modem Firmware / Baseband : 05.12.01 Bootloader : 6.4 Model : MC131 my phone is on orange in the u.k. if that makes any diff i dont no. can i use Spirit to jb my phone?

I have an ipod touch3g 32 gb 3.1.2 ……is there any chance ill damage my touch……also can i play games after jb directly or do i need to run some patch ……can i still play my paid apps online and can i access app store…….new and a bit worried……..about jb…..sorry…..please do reply

If you depend on unlock then i recommend using a custom firmware (can be found in iPhone firmwares category) or create one by urself using Sn0wbreez (windows) or PwnageTool (Mac) ..
and if you’re on official carrier and don’t care about unlock then restore official 3.1.3 firmware and use Spirit to jailbreak iPhone

how about mine how can i jailbreak , my iphone is 3gs 3.1.3 with baseband 05.12.01 mc model stuck in the emergency call connected usb with itunes and there is a lock sign above. i need help, others iphone is already jailbreaked but mind is notyet.

ya i did try with forecast but it says jailbreak and unlock is not possible, is this forecast because of my iphone stuck in the emergency slide or what. the spirit jailbreak is already out and most them they get advantage from it also? jailbreak is already out but why the forecast still says no.. i dont understand ……….

After reading all the comments, I just want to be 100% sure about something. I have a 3GS iPhone, running firmware 3.1.2, baseband 5.11.07, jail broken with redsn0w, and using blacksn0w to unlock to use T-Mobile. If I restore to the stock 3.1.2 firmware (have shsh’s on file with Cydia) and run Spirit, will I be able to restore all my official and non-official (Cydia) apps, and still use blacksn0w for an unlock? Thanks so much and sorry if I am repeating too much what others are asking lol.

Iphone 3G S 16GB – White
version 3.1.3(7E18)
Model MC132B
Model Firmware: 5.12.01
Note: This Unit was 3.1.2 (locked and has updated bootrom) when bought.
Paid a fee in my official network so that Apple will unlock it officially via itunes. Now, it is presently unlocked and now upgraded my 3.1.2 to 3.1.3.

thank you for replying. but i think it is contradicting to your advice a while ago in my other post regarding the post of jeffers. you said it depends in the baseband? you mean even it is officially unlocked, it still depends in the baseband if i will jailbreak it via spirit? i am much more confused. sorry.

Hi, Sorry for some question because I am a new Iphone users. My iphone is 3Gs 16gb, MC model , 3.1.3 7E18 not yet connect Itunes for first times, and I want to Jailbreak the phone via Spirit, But actually my Iphone is locked by carrier(japan) , that I only use it in Japan, but I wonder if I jailbreak it in Japan, can I unlock it in the future in another country, and how? Thank you .

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Finallyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
I jailbreaked my 3G iphone 3.1.3 and 5.12 firmware with this amazing SPIRIT . I can’t believe my eyes that i can see the lovely CYDIA in my iphone. I was about to sell it but i should have say thank you to everybody here who gives help.

Hi! I have Iphone 3G (Activated on India Airtel- Official one) OS 3.1.3, Modem firmare 5.12.01. I jailbroke my iphone simply using spirit and it went perfectly but after reboot when i am trying to open cydia, it opens and closes after 2 seconds, IT’S NOT WORKING……….please help….Many thanks!!

I used spirit and redsn0w today and each time i did no themes would work and i would get a message on my lock screen saying
“This doesnt really do anything yet, but it/did/get loaded off the server ;P. (awesome, huh?)”

Thanks for this great info. I did jailbreak my phone and it works! (3gs, 3.13..most as few succeeded cases above)

Unfortunately, i’m stuck with that my iphone cannot sync with itunes(it does shown syncing..but no progress seen). i did a few google, but still clueless about it. I just wanted to make sure that there is no problem with syncing with itunes in order to transfer all medias etc..and also purchases from installous (well its already install appsync 3.1..wonder how it really work to patch purchases and transfer it into itunes).

just a quick question. why is it stated in step 2 that itunes must be 9 or 9.1? do we need the itunes to be running at the same time as the spirit is running? what happens if i dont have itunes installed in my pc and i just downloaded spirit and use it straight away.. whats the difference.. and oh btw, i only use itunes 9 not the latest, cause i use it to tweak and make me my own ringing tone with that old itunes version, the new itunes version already fixed this glitch. please reply thanks

Hi,
I have tried to jailbreak my phone, but it get stuck at the screen with the colours and the bar that isn’t uploading, the thing is spinning but I am unsure as to what is really going on. Is there a mistake that I am making, or is there a way to fix this?

I have windows 7 64bit and I am very new at this so bear with me. I have downloaded the windows spirit file. Now I try to open it and nothing happens so what do I do wrong. Itunes is on and connected to the Ipod touch 3.1.3 but nothing happens. So can someone help a noobie?

this is the error i got when i tried to jailbreak my iphone 2g any idea? my iphone is asking for sim card i put one and doesnt work i can’t use any app. use emergency calls.
INFO: Now listening for devices…

Hi all. I just jailbroke my phone a few days ago with Spirit and as I am a total newbie to this entire thing, found it incredibly easy. However, I’m having a major issue with my wallpaper. I downloaded and bunch of wallpapers for Winterboard through Cydia. I have since changed them tons of times without a problem. However, suddenly no matter what I do, I cannot set any wallpaper whatsoever… either through Winterboard, or through the regular iPhone settings app. I’ve tried uninstalling the two apps I recently installed prior to this issue (idock and sbrotator) and that didn’t help either. I am a total novice at this and need some help. Anyone out there willing to help me out, I’d be so grateful! <3

I jailbreaked my phone with blackra1n with 3.1.2. It is a 3gs. My cydia stopped working and i can’t ssh or us ifile because i need cydia to do some steps to make it all work. I want cydia back so should i just restore my phone download the update on itunes 3.1.3 and 9.1? If so i need to know if this new jailbreak will work and so i can get cydia back. Any help would be great. Thanks

open the cydia and let it update.. if still not working.. continue below..

do u depend on unlock?

No.. then simply install 3.1.3.. connect to iTunes with official SIM card and activate it.. when you get to home screen Use Spirit jailbreak to jailbreak 3GS. and then make sure to save SHSH blobs after jailbreak

i have just finished jailbreaking my ipod touch using the spirit…but what im seeing right now on my ipod screen is some sort of an abstract wallpaper with a white line in the middle…is this the progress bar???how long would this line take??pls reply asap…

Hi… can someone please help me? I installed Spirit on my 3gs 3.1.3 and after a while I’ve lost the ability to set any type of wallpaper, either through WinterBoard or through the regular iPhone Settings app. I’ve read on some message boards people have had this problem, but as a jailbreak newbie, I do not understand how to fix it! Any help is super appreciated!! Thanks!

I have an Iphone 3GS 3.1.2 (7D11) MC133X with a baseband 5.11, I wanted to jailbreak with blackrain sometime ago but there is too much saying my iphone is tethered and each time i power down and back on i would need to reload blackrain so i avoid it.
my big question is WILL THIS WORK without stuffing things up and wanting a reload each reboot of the iphone.
thanks a heap for any info!

The jailbreak works fine but now I can’t update some of the apps I bought from itunes earlier, pls help. I see the updates available on app store but when I try to update it, it just says can’t connect to itunes store.

I have a similar problem only I can get a little farther and can click on the updates but my email address doesn’t show up so I can’t update or buy games off the AppStore. The email address that keeps showing up I have never seen before and is from a completely different continent than mine. Please help thanx 🙁

Hi i tried to jail break my itouch after i updated the OS to 3.1.3, i followed the steps it shows successful. But it stuck at a colorful screen and loaded for very long. so i force reset it. Now i on it, it’s stuck at the apple logo. wat do i do? thanks.

I’m having problems with my jailbreak. I’m running your standard 3GS never been jailbroken or attempted and it’s on 3.1.3. When I attempt to jailbreak it’s saying it was successful, but during the reboot process, my loading bar doesn’t fill at all and I get sent back to my phone locked screen. No cydia app at all. Is there something I’m missing? I’ve watched about 10 videos and read about 15 different forums and don’t understand what I’m? doing wrong…I’ve retried no kidding about 30 times…any help is greatly appreciated

The fresh restore didn’t work. I ended up having to right click and open out of my downloads from firefox instead of opening from the desktop. Hope this will help someone else who is having the same problem!
